Chapter 14: The Opposition of Siberia and Southern Russia

Koba and the Ravens are ready for deployment ordered by Lenin, Ellie keeps saying "Why do you always have to go my love, I don't want you to die please, stay with me and the boys forever" Koba replies "Don't worry darling, these Nektus will protect you and his brother, please Nektus keep Ellie safe will ya?" Nektus replies "Alright Koba, i will protect her and my baby brother". After Koba kisses Ellie, he left the apartment with most of his gear, Ellie cries again and Nektus tells her "Ellie, Lionheart is a strong man, I promise you he will come home after the civil war", Ellie calms down little bit, now moving on to do chores with Nektus to keep the Apartment stable. Koba again meets Stalin, having a conversation as follows:

Stalin: So, you are ready for deployment boy? I like your courage as a warrior, I can use someone like you as my second in command.

Koba: Oh thank you Comrade Stalin for giving me a offer, but Lenin is still our Grand Minister you know.

Stalin: Yes, if he steps down, i want you to help me gain the power, but Leon Trotsky is in the way, so if the time comes, I want you to eliminate him?

Koba: Never! I will never betray my Comrade! I know your scheme Stalin, you wanted to starve the country with your madness, I can feel your greed exposing your true nature.

Stalin: I know you will refuse this offer, but know this, my solution is to make this country great.

Koba: No, you will make this worst even you take Lenin's place, you will never be a leader for this country. You're insane as ever Comrade, you and the NKVD killing people just rob money for the Bolshevik party? Lenin will still be leading us as long as I'm around Comrade.

Stalin: Hmm killing you is very impossible, but i will not make my move yet, wanna smoke cigar?

Koba: Sure comrade, i would love to.

As Koba now knows Stalin's intention of taking power, he will try his best to monitor him, by telling the Ravens about Stalin's insane plan. Now Stalin meets up with more high members of the Bolshevik party with Trotsky and Lenin, to plan to wipe out the Imperial forces and Siberia, by making them as a state, Trotsky doesn't like Stalin's plan of killing the remaining Imperials since its a murder madness, Lenin agrees with Trotsky, proceeds to go with Leon's plan to take their territory and force them to join the Bolsheviks as one. Many of the Red Army begins to mobilize their troops to their assign operation, Koba and the Ravens will try their best to succeed in the later days.

At the beginning of March 1919, the operation of the Imperial forces who is still active begins to assault more people rebelling against them, the Bolsheviks lead by Belldrick and Dmitri arrives at the scene to assist the peasants fighting them off, the farms begin to burn down because it lowers supplies that the peasants give to the Bolsheviks. The Red Army pushes forward to the village nearby where to the Imperial forces where occupied, the Imperials who are celestial beings begin blasting them with energy beams, the Bolsheviks counters them with a barrier to protect the civilians from it, the one the civilians want to join the Bolsheviks, they agreed to fight them off because the Imperials are rampant to loot it as it is theirs, now the Imperials are encircled, they make their last offensive not in vain, but the Bolsheviks bombards them with heavy Celestial energy blast, strong enough to kill them. The peasant's farm is destroyed, but they thank the Red Army for saving their homes, they begin to rebuild the farm to make it a large place for them to have more supplies.

In October 1918, The Red Army goes south as they will capture Kursk from the Imperials, Koba commands the troops to to storm the area without rest, but the Imperial forces uses their strategy to kill them with a machine gun, others uses the Celestial skill to pin them at their position, Koba tells them to hold until they are out of ammo and energy, many minutes later, they ran out of ammo, while they charge up their energy, the Red Army push forward to clash with them, Koba use his fighting technique to kill them without using a gun, then he disarms 13 soldiers weapons by blinding them with a bright celestial flash skill, then he uses his knife to stab all of them to death, as the battle continues, they are able to get in the city, many Imperial resistance fires at them head on without proper command, Gregory orders a artillery barrage killing hundreds of Imperial soldiers at the gates, Bolsheviks keep on coming as the civilians continue to aid the Bolsheviks with more food to keep their spirits up.

Meanwhile before going inside a village in Siberia, Leon Trotsky and Nikita plans to make their swift offensive, the Siberians finds their camp and fires at them, now they order to fight the Siberians with rifles, some celestial beings use their barriers to protect the Red army from gunshots, then charges at them with hand to hand combat, more soldiers killing each other with melee weapons, many with gunshots, destroying more artillery positions by energy bombs, as they are able to see a big village, they move forward but they meet a heavy resistance, pinning them down, as they enter the village, the civilians no longer supports the monarchy in Siberia, wanting to side with the Bolsheviks, then the Siberians recapture their territory as the Red army lost the position, Leon and Nikita retreats with a huge loss in that day. 14 days later, the Red army attacks the Siberians again with their counteroffensive, the Siberians are heavily outnumbered by a large group of the Red army surrounding them with a strategy, the Red army captures the supplies after destroying the Siberian position at the front, they are able to replenish their energy with food for more action, they are near to Chelyabinsk, Leon orders the artillery platoon to bombard the buildings inside, Siberians are afraid to fight back, their commander had no choice to flee the city, leaving his Regiments behind to die, In October 14, 1918, the Red Army uses their counteroffensive again to swipe the Siberian position thus they are able to capture Chelyabinsk and Omsk, half of Siberia is already occupied by the Bolsheviks.

Meanwhile in South Russia, Koba conquers more area, winning multiple battles with his aura to motivate the 3rd Shock Army to keep on killing. Heavy winter arrives, Koba uses the weather as his strategy to keep his offense alive, The Imperial forces are not prepared for this situation to happen, rapidly falling apart as the villages are taken by the 3rd Shock army, they continue to grow more in numbers because Koba the Lionheart is leading the Regiment to battle, but it cost them their lives, at the end of April 1918, the 3rd Shock army wins the big battle through harsh conditions by the Imperials. By mid June 1919, Koba captures Kharkov and Belgorod through him crushing more Imperials in his path. Now the high members of the Bolsheviks considers Koba too powerful for his own good, Stalin like his persona as a whole, wishing to control him, Lenin loves what he is hearing from the news, wanting to consider him as a national hero after the civil war.

After Koba defeating the remaining Imperials in Belgorod, he praises the soldiers of the 3rd Shock Army for battling together with a strategy, Gregory reunites with his long time bestfriend Koba, they celebrate, they begin to drink lots of vodka until they become drunk, forcing themselves to tell the truth, Koba admits he likes him for his amazing strategy for winning multiple battles, while Gregory admits to Koba that he likes his stoic behavior, his powerful celestial power, and his superhuman strength. They keep on complimenting each while they are drunk, while they are at it, most soldiers watch them in happiness knowing that they truly bestfriends. In the next day, they both woke up, preparing for their next battle, they're conversation as follows:

Koba: Yo Comrade, man I was so drunk that don't remember.

Gregory: Me either, hey Comrade Koba, we both have in common right? We know each other for a long time, I'm just happy to be you bestfriend.

Koba: Same here Comrade, we should stick to the plan for our next assignment by Comrade Lenin.

Gregory: Yeah you're right bout that comrade, can we play chess? I have not play it for a long time.

Koba: Alright, let's do this.

As the two of them play chess, they both ended up in a stalemate because there is no more pieces left at both side except two kings. The Celestial sensory unit calls both Commanders to talk to Trotsky from Moscow, as they are about to plan for their next assignment. Now that Siberia is half own by the Bolsheviks, they will continue to plan ahead of time before the offensive, the Southern Russia is already secured, more resources for the Bolsheviks to enter its next phase of battle.
